AIConnect?

Hi,
I'm making a bot which is handled as player. I create the bot in the function startGame() with:

%botConnection = aiConnect("MasterBlaster" @ %i, -1, 0.5, false, "SDF", 1.0);

then in onClientEnterGame:

if (%this.isAIControlled()) {
    %this.player = CreateAIWheeledVehicle2("Herbie","CarPath",pickSpawnPoint()); 
	  
  }

Now everything works fine but then I need something in startRace:

$Bot.followPath("CarPath", -1);
$Bot.lap = -1;
$Bot.nextCheck = 1;

I replaced $Bot with all I know something with serverconnection, aiconnection... and nothing does work. How to say something to this bot?
